I think you can get firefox plugins to view pages in different browser formats

http://browsershots.org/ seems pretty accurate.

oh, oh oh! I know the answer to this!
grab this:
http://tredosoft.com/IE7_standal…
direct link:
http://download.microsoft.com/do…It allows all previous versions of IE to run side by side.
note: it may not work 100% with Vista (but then again what does?)
- that's for PC, which I assume you have if you have ie7flashbender
- Tredosoft doesn't work on Vista at all. I think Vista is missing an os file that IE6 needs
jamble - notepad and minesweeper work quite well on Vista.designbot

cool - can test on xp anyway.
need to actually use the browser as opposed to getting an application to get shots of it as i think a javascript action might be messing things up...
will let you know how i get along. D.

ok - those previous versions didn't seem to work! the browser is different and the app icon say ver 6.0 etc, but when i open it and go, help, baou ie it says its still ver7.0? even though the menus and buttons are obviously earlier builds!
stumped.

If you're on Vista, you'll need to install virtual machine with XP just to run IE6. It's a pain in the arse but you can do it.

we're using parallels on osx which is great so have access to both!
this is the business but i had to remove ie7 - oh well.

you can download (for free) microsoft virtual pc and an IE6 XP image. I use it for testing stuff in 6 and it works great.
